TRUbor9

I just bought a TM from airsoftsmith.com hicapa 5.1 8000bb 1 extra mag $211 ish still looking for a cmore look alike or cheap real thing. i dont think im going to bother with a comp.

With the "free" brass if it isn't smooth through the sizer it gets pulled outa the line and loaded for minor later.

Is there a date set yet??? Where is it going to be? Who could answer all my traveling/match questions?

YAY! my new grips are here

Yes watch out for the LY stuff but other than that there isn't much to worry about. I do however have an issue with WCC primer pockets being to small :/

ok this is an actual answer to my question thank you, I had thought that the ribs just needed to catch on the straight walls of my bullets. Thank you

+1 for the titegroup in minor I use it for 9 minor 40 minor/major and 45 major. And another +1 for AC in 9 major

$189/K OUCH! That, plus having to use load data for a 150gr bullet, when these only weigh 121gr would make my head hurt! +1 that be a big headache

What is your OAL for 9? 1.175 with a MGB 124vgr JHP 7.3gr of autocomp and Tula/Wolf SR primers

I was under the impression that most of the 9major guys are loading in the 1.170-1.180 range. I'm loading my 38SC ammo at 1.240, and so are most of the guys I know. What am I missing? exactly i think its kinda just a myth because it seems like the 38 guys would need them more

You could deff do it with the 45 xd but you would need to find a way to make a spacer for the side of the magsto make them work(no biggy strips of metal and super glue). my concern is the diameter of the barrel 9mm is .355 and 38 is .357 is it not?

Well i need to figure out a way to make it to the ohio sectional may 20-22? i believe and my graduation may21... this sucks!!!

I only use Win once fired brass for my major match ammo, otherwise i dont give a crap.

so? Case OVERALL Length or COL wont change if you have a longer case... the distance from my 9mm rim to the shoulder of my cases is just about the same length as a sc case if mot longer :/ it just doesn't make much sense to me. PS i do run spacers because I screwed up the back of my tubes(trying to tune them) when all i needed to do was sqweez them a little to stop the nose diving

so why does the 38sc reach the ribs? when its shorter? It seam like either one would need the spacers if they are shorter than the distance to the ribbing.

+1 but i love these dies but i use them for 9mm major

Mine are 124gr jhp MGB 7.3gr col:1.175 and Tula/wolf smallrifle primers but my power factor is closer to 175 and the tracking is great! gun-Factory STI trubor with the smaller comp.

I've been looking through the loading data on 9mm major and 38sc major. Why do us 9mm guys use spacers when, for the mostpart, we load longer than the the 38 guys do???

Western PA sectional had 2 50yd targets on one stage and 7 shots at 30 on another.

For you guys who haven't been shooting due to gun problems... Have you heard of these new guns? I think they're called Glocks. You may want to check them out. :devil: O.o if mine still out by the next shoot ill shoot my open XDm 40 however my grips coming back home soon )

Same for me just 2 matches in january and 1 out in AZ in feb but thats it for me. (edit) and my guns been out of comission... magcatch slides right into the grip

1 When did you start shooting open? this past summer 2 Was 40 your first caliber in open? yes but since then i switched to STI 9mm 3 Why did you choose 40? I thought it was easier to make major 4 What make is your gun? XDm 5 Who built it? Springer 6 What barrel length, comp and optic are you using? 4.2in barrel SP 3port comp Cmore on a B&B enterprise mount (Carver) 7 Do you run a big stick, and what capacity are you getting? yes factory mag with pistol gear extension gives me 24rnds 8 What have you settled on for a load? 155gr CMJ MGB 7.5gr of auto comp sr primers 9 What's your open classification? with my new gun it C, but it was C with the xdm too just about 10% lower 10 Where do you live? OHIO

I prefer the metal spacers but i only have them in my 170 mag and i used double sided sticky tape to hold it and so i can remove it. I have tried both in my 140s and ended up not using any because they ran better without them

Well i don't know how you have managed that because I've replaced the batteries several times in mine :/

Hey i built an Xdm open gun in 40s&w the bigstick gets 24rnds and it shoots fairly flat. I'm selling it now since i got a trubor this past summer.
